h Heart to Heart
r TaAs.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
.t THE QUALITY OF MERtCY.
Do you remember in Vicror Hugo'
story of "Les Miserables" bow foi
s-years Inspector Javert pursued JIeac
SVaijean, who had stolen a loaf o:
ebread~ for a starving sister?
Well, here is a modern instance.
V. Javert put Jean Valjean into th<
galleys and pursued him bec-ause 0:
V. his stern sense of official duty, but ti
persecutor In this modern story had n<
11 such excuse.
e- Wllliaim F. Delmege, a New Yori
[r. butcher, is the Javert of the tale, an
oJ.acob F. Heintz Is the poor delinquen
ewhom Delmoge hounded.
s The story runs thus:
Years ago Hleintz pleaded guilty ta
il steallng'somne meat from his emnployer
e Since that time be has not only live<
. an honest life, but has worked hard t<
-support his own family and also fou:
ie children of a dead brother.
c Wherever Hleintz went Delmege fol
he owed. sooner or 'later told thout thi
etheft and secured the discharge of the
eunfortunate man.
,Discouraged by his struggle agains
ge these odds. Helntz- had Delmege ar
to rested for breach of the peace. Th<
latter admitted to the judge he ha'
s cred the discharge of Heintz threa
' different times.
e He said he thought It was "his duty
tr- to tel.
a "Did you know this man was lead
ng an honest life?" asked the magis
lie trate.
St "NO." said Delmege.
li Whereupon the court grew indig
nant "Is there then no such thing al
penance or merey? Must the door o
to oportunity be everywhere slamme<
at In this poor man's face? I will Pu
*you under bonds of $1,000 to keep the
fpeace as to this matter."
In default of ball Delmege went t<
jaiL
- Oh. just judge!
Hentz. like JTean Valjean. was re
deeming his life. And every time be
tried to get his bead above water Del
mege pushed him under.
~"The quality of merey is no1
strained."
The pitiless Javert of Hlugo's story
etorn in his desire between the call o1
duty and the enll of merey. had the
grace to drown hims'elf.

CONCERNING OUR
The Legislature's Work.
Wilmington Star.
A contemporary calls atten
tion to the fact that "the South
CarolinA legislature is now sit
tin." If it is sitting on Gov
ernor Blease it will do good
work for South Carolina.
Blease's Message.
If Go-r rior Cole L. Hiease
hadn't been a "dead one" al-11
ready, his message to the South a
Carolina Legislature this week 1<
vetoing the libel law passed up s
to him would have killed him. t
I he message is the most scurri- 1
ious document we have ever C
lcnown to issue from the govern- n
or of the state.-Albany Herald. '
If Blease Has a Grouch.
If Governor l'lease has a
grouch against the Columbia
State, there is no reason why
he should lambast the entire
press in order to vent his spleen.
Some of the papers have treated
him rather decently in spite of
his short-comings. It's our:
lopinion tha1, a large majority of
the new.- vapers in South Caro-.
lina are edited by better men 1
than the Govt.rnor.- Gaff ney
Ledger.
Evil of Hook Worm
A y oun' fellow about twenty, t
dwarfed and yellow, took tLe
treatment for hookworm disease
a few weeks ago and now has
roses in his cheeks for the first:
time in years and finds a keener
ijoy in living than he has ever1
I known before. But unfortun->
ately he took the treatment too:
late for him ever to rearch normal
size. He wvill alway be stunted~
in body. That is itself a trag- I
edy, and it seems somehow as9
if he ought to have a chance'
